"Venerable Sir, when a man is turning or stirring iron in an iron furnace with iron tongs, with how many activities [is he affected]?"
"Gautama, as long as that man turns or stirs iron in an iron furnace with iron tongs, so long is that man touched by five activities, from bodily activity up to deprivation-of-life activity. And also those souls from whose bodies the iron was produced, the iron furnace was produced, the tongs were produced, the charcoal was produced, the charcoal poker was produced, and the bellows was produced—those souls too are touched by five activities, from bodily activity up to deprivation-of-life activity."
"Venerable Sir, when a man, having taken iron from an iron furnace with iron tongs, is lifting it up or putting it down upon an anvil, with how many activities [is he affected]?"
"Gautama, as long as that man, having taken iron from an iron furnace with iron tongs, lifts it up or puts it down upon an anvil, so long is that man touched by five activities, from bodily activity up to deprivation-of-life activity. And also those souls from whose bodies the iron was produced, the tongs were produced, the large hammer was produced, the small hammer was produced, the anvil was produced, the anvil-block was produced, the water-trough was produced, and the smithy was produced—those souls too are touched by five activities, from bodily activity up to deprivation-of-life activity."
